| Avago_Broadqual | Do I need to worry about any gotchas on a Ubuntu Server 18.04 -> 20.04 upgrade if I am using LXC/LXD + LXDUI? This is on ppc64el | 11:51 |
|---|---|---|
| flaf | dbungert: sorry to ping you again. 1) FYI, asap I will file a bug concerning subiquity and about my problem of "apt-get purge snapd", just in case. 2) Now, I have a problem with storage config in my user-data file which doesn't work (http://paste.alacon.org/47350). Have I missed something in the "storage" key of my user-data file? | 12:58 |
| flaf | dbungert: I have forgotten: the size of my swap file is not taken into account too. | 13:01 |
| === genii-core is now known as genii | ||
| dbungert | flaf: so the two partitions thing is expected, subiquity will look at incoming partitions and create a boot partition if it perceives that there isn't one. This appears to be BIOS boot but it still structures that first 1M as a partition. I think other systems just 'skip' 1MiB to achieve a similar effect. | 14:36 |
| dbungert | line 94 in your paste needs to be 'mount', I think | 14:37 |
| flaf | dbungert: OK, I see for the first "bios" partition. So, in this case, my "number: 1" is incorrect in the "type: partition" item, no? I Have to set "number: X" where X start from 2, no? | 14:41 |
| dbungert | I'm a little unclear on this part but I believe it gets renumbered for you due to the boot partition being created. I would leave it as 'number: 1' and try that. I think the 'noatime' problem is because the mount directives are being sent as type 'format' | 14:43 |
| flaf | dbungert: Thx. Indeed, I have made mistakes in the "mount" item and "format" item too. I try to fix, but it seems to me that my conf is still ignored. Furthermore the swap size is still ignored. | 14:43 |
| dbungert | 256g swap looks fishy | 14:45 |
| dbungert | meant to be 256m swap maybe/ | 14:45 |
| === Avago_Broadqual2 is now known as Avago_Broadqual | ||
| flaf | dbungert: Yes I have fixed that too. | 14:45 |
| flaf | I'm trying a new version of user-data and I will show you if it doesn't work. Thx. | 14:46 |
| dbungert | cool, good luck | 14:46 |
| flaf | :) | 14:46 |
| flaf | dbungert: sorry, "storage" still not work for me. I have put some details here https://gist.github.com/flaf/1d34ae7867374fe6ce36e37652de39d0 | 15:42 |
| flaf | As I explain in the gist, it seems that the "storage" part is completely overriden. | 15:44 |
| dbungert | flaf: is this still a VM with a 5G disk? I wonder if the swap code is objecting to 1G swap in that state. | 15:55 |
| flaf | dbungert: the VM has just one disk of 5GB. | 15:55 |
| dbungert | does a smaller size swap get respected? or does it just ignore entirely? | 15:56 |
| flaf | dbungert: in the gist, the file /var/log/installer/autoinstall-user-data has a "config" key completely overriden and the "swap" sub-key is not present. | 15:57 |
| flaf | dbungert: I can try a smaller swap size if you want (for instance 521M). | 15:58 |
| flaf | (oops 512M) | 15:59 |
| dbungert | yea, I'm wondering if we're tripping some sort of free space check where it decides 1G is too large for the swap file on that disk size. | 16:00 |
| flaf | dbungert: during the install session, I wanted run something like that “h -c "LANG=C.UTF-8 python3 -m subiquity.cmd.tui --autoinstall /autoinstall.yaml"” but I have the error “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'subiquity'”. | 16:00 |
| dbungert | the noatime option looks completely fine, other than I wonder if the yaml processing is objecting to the lack of quotes. If you quote it and it still gets ignored then that's 100% a bug | 16:01 |
| flaf | dbungert: is there a command I can run during the install session to check if the "/autoinstall.yml" file is correct? | 16:02 |
| dbungert | like a schema check? or that it was downloaded and matching what you thought was there? | 16:02 |
| flaf | dbungert: a schema check. For me the file /autoinstall.yml is downloaded correctly but, after, the "storage" part seems to be ignored (I don't know why) so I would the check if the /autoinstall.yml file is fully OK for subiquity. | 16:04 |
| flaf | *I would like to... | 16:05 |
| dbungert | we don't have an end-to-end tool covering that, though I would like us to. Parts are validated, but network and storage config get handed to curtin and netplan respectively. | 16:06 |
| flaf | dbungert: and do you know why in my case thes files "/autoinstall.yml" and "/var/log/installer/autoinstall-user-data" are not the same? | 16:07 |
| dbungert | the /autoinstall.yml should be identical to the data you provide | 16:07 |
| flaf | it is the case. | 16:08 |
| dbungert | autoinstall-user-data is the result after it has gone thru subiquity and come out the other end - we generate that file also for users who are just using the UI, so that they have a reference autoinstall file to start automation work with | 16:08 |
| dbungert | I'm not worried about some minor rewriting of the curtin storage object IDs, because those values are arbitrary and just need to be self-consistent among the objects | 16:09 |
| dbungert | but the missing swap and mount options is not good | 16:09 |
| flaf | dbungert: yes but there are another changes. | 16:10 |
| dbungert | flaf: what else do you see? I'm interested in subiquity being able to round-trip autoinstall config. | 16:10 |
| flaf | dbungert: for instance id (in storage: => config:) are changed, name: and label: has been removed. | 16:11 |
| flaf | dbungert: it seems to me it's not a kind of rewriting, I think of a complete replace by a kind of defaut storage/config: | 16:14 |
| dbungert | on your invocation of subiquity tui, I think you might have better luck with 'snap run subiquity' - that autoinstall location is picked up by default, and the tui cmd doesn't take an autoinstall arg | 16:15 |
| flaf | dbungert: FYI, I have just tried with "size: 521M" (for the swap) and the "swap:" key is ignored (in fact, just not present in `/target/var/log/installer/curtin-install-cfg.yml`. | 16:16 |
| dbungert | ok, so I think the bug there is that swap and mount options are getting ignored | 16:16 |
| flaf | dbungert: and the label for the filesystem, and the name of the gpt partition too. | 16:17 |
| dbungert | flaf: you've got some great data here, do you mind capturing it in a bug report? I don't want to lose this stuff. | 16:18 |
| flaf | dbungert: I can reproduce the problem automatically (I'm using packer). so no problem. | 16:19 |
| flaf | dbungert: so I will file 2 bugreport, 1) for "apt-get purge snapd" and 2) for the "storage" problem. | 16:20 |
| flaf | Probably this week-end. I will ping you with the link of the 2 bugreports here. | 16:21 |
| flaf | Anyway, thx for your help. The tool (subiquity) is very interesting. | 16:22 |
| dbungert | Good chat flaf, I appreciate you stepping thru the debugging | 16:22 |
| flaf | :) | 16:22 |
| flaf | dbungert: I will file a bugreport, no problem with that. But just FYI, imho it's the complete sub-key `storage:` which is ignored (not just mount options, or swap size etc.). Indeed, I have tried a config with 2 patitiions "/" and "/var/log" (on the same disk) but in /target/var/log/installer/curtin-install-cfg.yaml, only one partition/mountpoint for "/". | 16:51 |
| flaf | (https://gist.github.com/flaf/1d34ae7867374fe6ce36e37652de39d0#gistcomment-3920831) | 16:51 |
| flaf | Got to go. Bye and thx again... | 16:51 |
